Do you need bath repair in Staxigoe?
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How the colour is matched
Bath repair at your home in Staxigoe
We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. Each is repaired in place. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or sides and rusty patches near the plughole.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Your questions about bath repair in Staxigoe
Do you cover Staxigoe?
We do. We send a technician to Staxigoe for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Generally the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Are there extra charges for Staxigoe?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Other services in Staxigoe
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Repairing versus replacing in Staxigoe
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Staxigoe. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire bath

- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Advice
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
